Inspired by the true story of a disillusioned Englishman who went to work in a school in Argentina. Expecting an easy ride, Tom (Steve Coogan) discovers a divided nation and a class of unteachable students. However, after he rescues a penguin from an oil-slicked beach, his life is turned upside-down.
From the director of The Full Monty and the producers of Philomena, Steve Coogan “displays precision comic timing” (The Guardian) in a comic and emotional film set amidst the trauma of the 1976 Argentinian coup d’état.
